Is this zepherine drouhin?
I moved into my house (built ca. 1930) 3 years ago, and this rose was here. Zone 6b. It’s in partial shade. Completely thornless upright canes. I let her grow and she’s over 8 feet tall. Glossy leaves. It blooms in flushes, one spring one fall with a few random flowers in between. It mostly has single upright blooms but there have been a few stems carrying 2 blooms. Double flowers with a mild spicy tea scent. Red stamens with golden pollen, and pointed buds of deep pink that open lighter and fade to light pink. The blooms last about 4 days. It may have mosaic virus as some of the leaves are mottled with a light yellow color. (Would that effect how the blooms look?) Thanks for your time!

Doesn't look like Zéphirine Drouhin to me. Stamens do not match, the bud either. Nor is the foliage that glossy.
However, I do not know which rose this is or could be.
